My first Secret Shoppers Job

United States
February 11, 2007 6:45pm CST
Today I went on my first secret shoppers job. I have to say that I was very nervous about doing this type of work. I can't really explain why, I just was. I thought that it was going to be hard but was really surprised at how easy and fun it really was. I think that I could really like doing this for a side job. Does anyone else do this? Do you enjoy it?

I used to do it but now I live too far from anything to do it anymore. I loved it. I was nervous the first time also. you will not be nervous the next time. Remember, you control the report so you are the expert.

You are very right as I have done a few more since posting this and I was not as nervous. It does seem that with each one it gets easier.

I gave the link above for the shop that I did today and this shop did not cost me any out of pocket money, which made it even better. I am going to post a couple of other links for you also. http://www.xec.gapbuster.com/ http://a-insights.clientsmart.com/ Check Mark Inc. You can try these and if you would like more just let me know and I will send them to you.

I do it all the time and it is fun. With the price of fuel though you have to make sure you do more than one job at the same shopping centre for it to be worthwhile. The McDonalds ones are good as you can treat your family to McDonalds for dinner and have one meal for free. Well that's the way it works here. You do the secret shopper job and get someone else in your family to buy the rest of the family meal at a different checkout. The jewellery jobs are great. They pay well and you also get the chance to try on really expensive jewellery you would love to be able to afford but can't. Have fun.

Thank you for the tips here. I have signed up to do some McDonalds as they sounded like they would be fun to do but have not been accepted to any yet. These seem to go fast. A jewelery shop really sounds exciting.

Congratulations! Here in Norway we dont have secret shopping programs. Unfortunately. I would have loved to joined a program like that.
